Gone too soon. That was a lovely tribute Willie.

Tragic. RIP Benjamin.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys have a thread up about the Cars and Benjamin Orr. The Cars are one of my favvie band ever (yeah I have three favourite bands) and one of my favvie singers ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The old Cars were the best though. It doesn't seem right without their gorgeous bass player Ben. I miss him so much. LOL they have some of the best music ever!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I can't tell you guys what song is my favourite from the Cars. I love them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got done telling you about this thread in the Artist we'd bring back thread. I see you found it.

You and I are going to get along just wonderfully.

I see that you said you're on FB. I 'll send you a friend request but did you know there are several Benjamin fan pages on there? Some of them are really great and one of them is ran by his cousin Kathy who is absolutely awesome!!!

And speaking of Kathy--she and her best friend create absolutely beautiful jewelry and sell it and I have bought several pieces from them. The other day I was sent a special gift from them in thanks. I am beside myself--It's just gorgeous.

That's Beautiful Willie!

Very cool! I love custom/handmade stuff. Etsy has taken over from eBay as my new place to browse online... although I don't buy half as much from there. It can be pretty expensive! Beautiful stuff, though.

Then I will accept you as a friend for sure. That amulet is so amazing!!!!!! I would get that for sure.

Thought I'd revive this today. Since Troub posted in the Things that remind you thread a couple days of go, I've been missing my sweet Benjamin and listening non-stop to him.

Here's some newer stuff unheard before just put on YouTube by one of the members of a FB page for the Cars. Very raw!! LOVE IT!!! Benjamin's voice was always so perfect.

The Orr Band in 1997-- 3 years before he passed away.

I don't think I've ever posted this before. This is the song that Ric wrote for Benjamin after he passed away. It makes me cry when I hear it. His love for him really shines through.

Here are the words for Silver.

You were my silver you were my gold
you were all the things that cant be told
you were my star falling through the night
you were the one who showed me grand delight
i cant see you but i need you
and you're gone
you were my right hand you were my friend
you were always strong until the end
you were my good time you were my rave
you're the one that always set the stage
you're what i once knew now i miss you
cause you're gone
now i spend my lonely nights
wishing you were here to make things right
to turn my darkness into light
you were my party you were my tea
you're the one that had faith in me













Thanks for indulging me while I swoon once again.

Aw Willie, I'm glad we're here for you. Memories can be sad but so sweet. Benjamin vocals were great.
